Since there’s been a resurgence lately of the “mastodon is mostly just for folks who use Linux” thing …
… i’m now curious about my community here

“I use Linux …”
(Please boost!)

Personally I am in the “occasionally”
I float between a modern top-of-the-line MacBook Pro, a cheap desktop running windows, and a 13-year-old Thinkpad running Linux
@lufertec I also voted for "occasionally", since I use a MacBook on the go and a Linux PC at home. My phone is a Google Pixel running @GrapheneOS, the best mobile operating system I've ever used. Unlike normal Android you would find on a Samsung, Pixel, Xiaomi or whatever, GrapheneOS doesn't have any bloatware, no ads, no creepy spyware embedded in the OS. It also has substantial security improvements compared to AOSP. you can find a detailed list on their website: https://grapheneos.org/features
But unlike with other degoogled ROMs, you don't lose out on anything. You can install Google apps using the Sandboxed Google play compatibility layer. That way Google doesn't get any elevated access to your device, but you still get to enjoy the entirety of Google services (except for Google Pay, see this thread https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/112878067304840664) working with no issues. But the best thing is that it looks and feels just like any other Android-based OS, you don't have to relearn much, the user experience is almost identical. It's so easy to use that I even got my grandma a Pixel 6a with GrapheneOS, and she's been very happy with it. She didn't even notice that anything is different compared to her old phone.
